Setting time

33
Q

Measured by penetration tests

A

Setting time

34
Q

Types of penetration test

A
  1. Vicat needle

2. Gilmore needle

35
Q

Measure initial setting time (1/4 lb)

A

Vicat needle

36

37
Q

Measured from the start of mixing until the 2nd increase of temperature

A

Initial setting time

38
Q

Time for initial setting time

7-13 minutes

39
Q

Measured from the start of mixing until the 2nd decrease of temperature

A

Final setting time

40
Q

Time for final setting time

A

20 minutes

41
Q

Significance of finding initial setting time

A
  1. Time to trim off extra plaster or stone that overflowed

2. To prevent the breakage of the cast

42
Q

Significance of finding final setting time

A
  1. To prevent premature separation

2. To prevent powdery casts

43
Q

Manipulation of gupsum products:

A

✔️ know the WP ratio
✔️ put the water first then the powder in the bowl
✔️ let them settle for 30 seconds to remove air
✔️ mix it using rotatory motion at 120 rpm for 1 1/2 minutes
✔️ tap the mixture to released entrapped air

44
Q

Theoretical factors affecting setting time

A
  1. Number of nuclei
  2. Solubility of the hemihydrate
  3. Rate of crystal growth
45
Q

Number of nuclei crystallization

A

Greater number of nuclei, decrease ST, the shorter

Lesser number of nuclei, increase ST, the longer

46
Q

Solubility of the hemihydrate

A

More soluble, the faster the ST

47
Q

Rate of crystal growth

A

Faster rate of crystallization, faster ST

48
Q

Practical factors affecting setting time

A
  1. Presence of impurities
  2. Fineness
  3. WP ratio
  4. Mixing time
  5. Temperature
  6. Accelerators and retarders
49
Q

Decrease ST =

A

Faster setting

50
Q

Particle size and shape of crystals

51
Q

Smaller crystals, more soluble, faster

52
Q

Too thin

A

Prone to air bubbles

53
Q

Too thick

A

Not all powder will be mixed with water

54
Q

WP ratio

A

More water, less powder, longer setting time

Less water, more powder, shorter setting time

55
Q

Mixing time

56
Q

Longer time, faster mixing rpm, faster setting time

A

Mixing time

57
Q

Up to 50 degrees celcius

A

Accelerator

58
Q

Above 50 degrees celcius

59
Q

Most practical way for a clinician to control setting time

A

Altering temperature

60
Q

Tend to remove the surface coating of crystals making them more soluble to water

A

Accelerators

61
Q

Best accelerator regardless of concentration

62
Q

Tend to create surface coating of crystals making them less soluble to water

63
Q

Examples of retarder

A
  1. Borax
  2. Nitrates
  3. Citrates
  4. Higher conc of NaCl and Na2SO4

.10-30%

69
Q

Why is that the WP ratio for plaster impression is high?

A

So that it can flow more because it’s for impression taking

70
Q

Factors affecting compressive strength

A
  1. Shape and size of the particles
  2. WP ratio
  3. Mixing technique
  4. Use of chemical modifiers
71
Q

Factors affecting setting expansion

A
  1. WP ratio
    - increase water, decrease setting expansion
    - increase powder, increase setting expansion
  2. Addition of chemical modifiers
    - potassium sulfate
